We are yet to go live so I can not speak for the production side yet. We are using Engine Yard for a new application and have been very impressed with their service and support.

However, I also hear great things about TextDrive... Pick one, go with it, work with them.

The clustered containers were quite new at that time so things should have improved. From my own experience, shared hosting, whether clustered or on a single server, and especially for high traffic rails apps, is something you should avoid. We've started out with one VPS over at Rimuhosting and have gradually added more servers over time and now have a few servers. Rimuhosting is great, especially their support is impecable. I would recommend them to everyone. I once considered Mediatemple GS, but then read some horror stories in several blogs (some related to rails), google should help you find them.

CentOS. Yay. I've used TextDrive in the past, but I found it very slow. Rails Machine is wonderful. :) I have my own servers with Rimu Hosting. http://www.rimuhosting.com I just used MediaTemple’s Dedicated Virtual server to launch an app. It was pretty easy. CentOS.
